Most people just don't believe it would decline so quickly, or don't want to. It does depend on where your local is. Rural northern Michigan probably would not fall apart , while downtown Detroit would within a couple of days.
I agree, the more rural areas would probably last longer. I would most certainly make my way to my dads land. He has a stocked fishing pond, more guns then me, and would be a good weeks hike across wooded areas. I am stocked for such a venture, and could make it with my kids.
But the point is "I just can't believe in todays society" is an illusion.
Yes, they have been taken back over, so it's changed twice - lots of change in 50 - 60 years. Now, go find a link about serial beheadings within the past 13 years in the name of the Baptist religion if you think your argument about this incident has merit in today's world.

Dictators and Kings have kept the place in line. A blind eye was turned towards the south after reconstruction, which was why there was no mass media coverage of what was going on down here until the 1960's.
Even with dictators and kings controlling that region of the world, the middle east, there were beheadings and murders in the name of religion. They simply haven't caught up to the rest of the world. Some would say that the dictators and kings kept them from catching up to the rest of the world. But let me ask you this, if there was no oil in the middle east, what would be their number one export and industry? There isn't one. Thats their issue.
Just like rural areas of Africa, they have atrocities that we never hear about. Women having their breasts cut off with knives after being gang raped. Happens everyday in subsahara Africa, but they aren't Americans they are happening to, and it doesn't make for good TV.
I see the middle east for what it is. They have oil, instability in the market threatens the economics of powerful nations, so when a few nut jobs go crazy, we step in. Take away the power of the oil from the region, and people simply won't care anymore.
True - none of that changes who's doing beheadings.
well lets wait an hear our president come on to tell everyone to not take this seriously
do not read this wrong Islam is peaceful yadda yadda yadda
and his minions hacks and paid soothsayers spin this and blame the dead woman!!!

I think this was just a nut. Like other nuts, he used religion as a means to an end. The fact it was in Oklahoma means little, nuts kill people every day, even in the United States.
Dahmer used to cut peoples heads off, and keep them in the fridge. Ed Gein used to skin people. America has our fair share of nuts, and yes, some have used religion, no matter which one, as justification for their rampages.
I'm pretty sure you can understand that the jihadists are doing it in the name of their religion and the cartels are doing in for their business and territory and they may or may not be Christian. The jihadists see anyone that doesn't share their view as a potential target. The cartels are focused on their business rivals. One makes many more people a possible target than others. I know it feels better to not acknowledge that or to draw equivalence, but it's not the case. The jihadists will tell you it's not the case. They want to take over. The cartels would rather go unnoticed.
Not really any bigger deal than any other killing in the US to me. Some guy shot up a mall and killed several people where I lived a couple years back because he was angry at the world. Some guy beat his wife to death in front of his kids down the street from me. There's all kinds of lunatics and criminals causing violence in this country--America is a violent place.
This guy in Oklahoma was a lunatic killer--fry his ass. At the same time, it's not losing any sleep over this incident.
Ok, why are you making a big deal about this murder & not the COUNTLESS murders committed with firearms? Are you so numbed & used to gun deaths that it doesn't even faze you anymore?
Sources say that Nolan has an "Obama/Biden" sticker on his car bumper......go figure...!
